Impact on Plant Health: Detects nematodes causing stunted growth, wilting, or reduced yields, allowing preventive measures to safeguard crops.

Integrated Pest Management: Supports strategies combining cultural, biological, and chemical methods to reduce nematode populations sustainably.

Soil Health Implications: Links high nematode levels to issues like poor drainage or compaction, guiding improvements for soil productivity.

Economic Impact: Quantifies nematode infestation to estimate yield losses and inform resource allocation for cost-effective crop management.

Monitoring and Follow-Up: Enables ongoing tracking of nematode levels and control effectiveness, refining management practices over time.

Environmental Considerations: Promotes eco-friendly nematode management, minimizing chemical use to protect beneficial organisms and ecosystems.
